Columbus Day

Though we are sometimes critical (sometimes?) of the on-ice work the Rangers do, we are never disappointed with what they do off the ice. Here’s another example of the organization’s good-heartedness. There was just a feature on it during the pregame show on MSG, but for those who didn’t see it:

NEW YORK RANGERS HOST GARDEN OF DREAMS NIGHT
Garden Of Dreams Foundation Promotes Awareness and Hosts Tri-State Area Children In Need
New York, November 23, 2009 – The New York Rangers will host a special “Garden of Dreams Night” to raise awareness for the Garden of Dreams Foundation. Garden of Dreams is a non-profit organization that works closely with all areas of Madison Square Garden, including the Knicks, Rangers, Liberty, MSG Media, MSG Entertainment, and Fuse, to “make dreams come true for kids in crisis.”
On Monday, November 23rd, children from the Garden of Dreams Foundation will participate in a series of once-in-a-lifetime experiences with the New York Rangers when they host the Columbus Blue Jackets at Madison Square Garden. To kick off the evening, a child from Make-A-Wish Hudson Valley will perform a ceremonial puck drop. As the Rangers enter the ice prior to the game, 10 children from Children’s Village will have the opportunity to participate in a high-five line with the players. The Rangers will host three suites for children and representatives from various Garden of Dreams partner organizations to enjoy the game and receive visits from Rangers alumni. Two children from Children’s Aid Society have been selected to serve as honorary MSG reporter and photographer to capture the activities of the evening.

Higgins on the first line!!?? Cally as center? Our team is outta sync :) and we can’t get all tradsie tradsie on them.
Everything is all scrambled up and players are here and over there. What are we to think ? Do we have a problem here or do we coast this thing out? Do we panick or just stay calm? Do we fire blame at coaches,players or Management?? As a fan , what am I looking for …just a win?
Or do I look into the big picture and vision new players trying to jell? Someone needs to adress the media and tell us..what is going on here. Are we stalling time untill our 2 mediocure centers come back? I really don’t know , so for now …Just win baby,just win!

What in Holy Hell just happened? Blogmama Carped me, then I commented that she Carped me, and that post disappeared. I didn’t think I was ever supposed to get Carped. But I did, although now there is no physical evidence of that.

Good gracious, did any of you just catch what I did? I carp’d myself, then carp’d carp, so had to undo my carping?

Carp, mea culpa, or carpa…

And now I’m back out of Blogmama posting abilities. What in holy hell? I think it’s best I leave you all alone tonight before I make a mess of things. Hey Greg, this is for you as I prepare to call it a night with the game….ZZZZZZZ.

Today, I saw one of my favorite hockey players in public. I had met him once before, and to my shock, he remembered me. I was pretty excited until he started talking to his friend in French. He didn’t seem to realize that I’m fluent in the language. He basically called me “ugly psycho b*tch.” FML

Gaborik hits over 50 is now becoming more of a reality. Jagr’s record is in serious jepordy. If not this year ,then next year. We have Gaborik for like 5 years. This guy should be our captain but then who cares…Gaborik is the best player on the Rangers ,he doesn’t need a letter to prove it .

Avery trash talkin and scoring, Gabby being Gabby, 3 rookies with goals – 2 with leetchie like moves, pretty much stayin outta the box, I am soooooo honored to be sharing this night with you boneheads!

Let’s go old school….blue seats and most greens are always filled….reds with money stink, buy them, and only show when it’s a hot game or playoffs. and it’s usually just the reds you see on tv…bad example of true fans showing up.

i gota agree with carp, the jerseys are nice but could they have made them any more identical to the penguins? small logo in the middle inside of the circle with the team name in the outer part of circle, not very creative, if ur gona use an idea make sure u dont use the same exact colors too

We won’t see this team play many like that. I gotta admit though it was fun to watch. I wonder what salty thought of Higgins tonight? He had a good game, and Avery looked like a super star, and Garboik, well Gaborik is a star. The first period was a stinker, I also thought Henrik might have stopped a couple on a good night. No matter now.

Sally and Linda aside, naturally, and as always, Kris tonight is my new favorite head! LMAO….actually, that radiohead lyric is my name in Saskatchewan, mixed with a little Creole. I know, tough to understand, but that’s the point. Shhhh. Don’t tell anyone I told :)

Yo Laurel , HUH wha was this!!???? ” actually, that radiohead lyric is my name in Saskatchewan, mixed with a little Creole.”

ok you told you I live in Saskatchewan :0

Avery starting to kick it in , looks like things are looking up. Hank (Clunk-qvist) lets in 4 goal. Cause for concern? Yeah , poor sweden’s gonna have a outa-sync Hank but when we get him back..he’ll be solid!!

Grab : ” bloggs been perty straining lately”
Wifey: “Take some days OFF…? ”
Grab : “Naw ,I can’t ..cccp will get all the first and izzy will too.I need to win it a few times.”
Wifey: ” Look here ..you need a break and Im forbidding you to go on for a few days! ”
Grabby :” Your right but zgreg aint gonna like it..”
Wifey : “Who cares about this stuiped Z guy , and stop saying Holey Hell all the time!!!”
